Security

MOBOTIX cameras are equipped with a Linux operating system which is very secure. In addition, all inputs and services which do not serve the purpose of browser interaction are closed. A Telnet service or similar developer inputs are also closed and cannot be enabled. Therefore, if you lose your administrator password, there is no alternative to going to the expense of sending the camera to the MOBOTIX factory. A PCB containing a new program is inserted there, the camera is started, and the password is changed.

Note:
In the case of large, widely distributed video systems, many users often have to access the recording data. With the MOBOTIX concept, it is very simple to protect the cameras via a firewall; the user normally requires no access to the recording PC because this is generally only done via the camera. Only the MxViewer client permits direct access to the server data, where necessary.

An https version with encryption is planned for the fall of 2006.
